January 16, 2023 Moon Goddess Current Phase
You can use this link to go forward or backward in time for Moon phase information. If you are curious, you can even find out what phase the Moon was in when you or anyone else was born.
From MoonGiant.com
The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Crescent phase. This phase is best viewed just before the sunrise in the western sky. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.
Visit the January 2023 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.
Today’s Waning Crescent Phase
The Waning Crescent on January 16 has an illumination of 35%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day. On January 16 the Moon is 23.55 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon. It takes 29.53 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth and go through the lunar cycle of all 8 Moon phases.

Spell for Today – Hand of Time
When dealing with a weekly spell guide, Mondays are thought to be the logical day for money, love, time and meditation spells. Since Mondays are thought to be the start of the work week, it gives plenty of time for a Monday spell to gain strength throughout the rest of the week.
Time Spells – Hand of Time Spell
Items you will need:
Both hands
6 fingers
SPELL
Hold both of your hands in front of you. Stare at your hands, noticing your palms and fingers, for about thirty seconds. Then, say this chant one time:
“Palms sweaty,
From watching clocks.
No more.
One finger,
For every ten docked.
Seconds in a minute
1440 in a day.
Stop a few,
For singing birds
And trees that sway.”
This should feel like time has slowed-down and allowed you to appreciate life more.

Moon Alert
There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Scorpio.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Surprises about debt, credit cards, your partner’s wealth might be a drag today. You might quarrel about the division of labour or how to share expenses. Fortunately, lucky Jupiter is in your sign, which makes you happier, lighthearted and forgiving.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Be ready for anything because today is full of surprises and interruptions, especially when dealing with partners and close friends. You might be caught off guard by something that someone else says or does. Squabbles about politics or religion might arise. Be part of the solution not part of the problem.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You are more dynamic and aggressive now that Mars is in your sign and it is no longer retrograde. (Good news for you!) Therefore, be forgiving today when dealing with work colleagues or supervisors because something will interrupt your routine. A surprise related to a pet or your health might also occur.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Parents should be extra vigilant today because this is an accident-prone day for your kids. Meanwhile, social plans will suddenly change. They might be cancelled or delayed; or you might suddenly have to respond to a last-minute invitation. Old friends from the past are still in your world.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Your home routine will be interrupted today. Small appliances might break down or minor breakage could occur. Someone unexpected might appear at your door. (It could be anything.) Do get out of bed and get dressed. Don’t be caught unprepared.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Be careful and pay attention to everything you say and do today because this is an accident-prone day for you. On the upside, you might have some brilliant ideas! (They might also be duds.) Don’t be rash in accepting social invitations. Check things out.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Be smart today and pay attention to your money, your assets, your wealth and your possessions because something unexpected could impact them. On the upside, you might find money; on the downside, you might lose something or something you own might be damaged, lost or stolen. Be alert!
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today the Moon is in your sign having a standoff with unpredictable Uranus, which is why you feel impulsive and easily excitable. You might seek out anything that seems like a quick thrill. You might even start a fight with someone just to see sparks fly. (Really?)
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
This is a restless day for you. Quite possibly, something is going on behind the scenes that makes you feel on edge or vaguely uncomfortable. Or perhaps, it’s something going on in the back recesses of your mind? Fear not. This is a fleeting, brief influence. Gone by tomorrow.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
A friend or a member of a group might say or do something that catches you off guard today. This could be interesting or, on the other hand, you might be offended. You might also learn something that surprises you about a group, which makes you question your involvement with these people.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You will be surprised or caught off guard by an authority figure today. (Take note that this includes the police.) Therefore, watch what you’re doing because you might get busted. Think twice before you respond to an authority figure. Never underestimate the power of courtesy.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Travel plans will suddenly change today. They might be cancelled or delayed. Alternatively, you might suddenly have to travel when you did not expect to do so. Sudden arguments about politics, religion or racial issues might erupt out of the blue. Don’t react. Stay calm.
If Your Birthday Is Today
Actress Birgitte Hjort Sorensen (1982) shares your birthday today. You have the mind of your own. You are determined, saucy and hard-working. You are kindhearted, hungry to learn and have a strong spiritual connection. Service to others is a theme for you this year. Therefore, take care of yourself so that you can help and support loved ones.
A Thought for Today
Dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests may the Great Mother and Great Father, Lord and Lady, bless you and your family with all things positive!

Weekly Horoscope Sunday, January 15 to Saturday, January 21, 2023
Click here to read Georgia Nicols Daily Horoscopes
All Signs
This week the Sun moves into Aquarius for four weeks, triggering a heightened sense of rebellion and independence in the world. People will fight for their beliefs. There will be news in the media about aviation or space travel because Aquarius rules the skies (rocket technology, aviation, astronomy and astrology). Aquarius is also associated with the gathering of likeminded individuals to fight for a cause. It’s the energy behind Greenpeace, Amnesty International and trade unions. The New Moon on Saturday (and Sunday) is an excellent time to set intentions and make resolutions. This year I resolve not to make resolutions. I’m going to live with myself.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
You’re heading into a four-week window of increased popularity! You will see friends more; and you’ll be more involved with groups, clubs and organizations. You will enjoy the company of creative, artistic acquaintances. (A friend could become a lover.) Please note: This is actually the best time of the year for you to define future goals. Goals give you a clearer focus on what is important. More clarity in decision-making. Better control over your future. And of course, they give you a sense of purpose. With Jupiter in your sign now (a once in 12 years event) –you have permission to think big!
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
For the next four weeks, the Sun is at the top of your chart. This occurs only once a year and when it does, it symbolizes that you are thrust in the light of the Sun – like a spotlight on you. And this light is flattering! Therefore, even if you don’t do anything different or special, others will admire you and see you as competent, capable and successful. (Good lighting is everything!) Since this is a blessing, make use of it! The next four weeks are the perfect time for you to make your pitch and do whatever you can to advance your agenda. Some of you look so good to others, you will begin a romance with a boss.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
The next four weeks are exciting because you want to explore and discover new things! You want to travel. If you can’t travel, you will travel through books and film. You might take a course? You might study a new language? You will enjoy meeting people from other cultures and countries. (Some of you will fall in love with someone “different.”) This will be an exciting time for you because let’s face it, you hate to be bored. You need new and exciting stimulation! (Is that a bright shiny object, under the table?) Meanwhile, fiery Mars continues to be in your sign boosting your energy and giving you drive and enthusiasm for life. Make the most of this blessing that lasts until the end of March. Lucky you!
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
This year, Jupiter is at the top of your chart, which happens only once every 12 years. Expect a promotion, public recognition, and the increased esteem of your colleagues. Meanwhile, in the next four weeks, you will focus more than usual on shared property, inheritances, reducing debt and dealing with insurance issues. All that boring stuff that doesn’t go away on its own. Fortunately, you will also attract money and gifts to you. With Mercury opposite your sign, enjoy important discussions with partners, spouses and close friends. Seek intellectual stimulation – anything from cheerful banter to spirited, philosophical debates.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
In the next four weeks the Sun is opposite your sign. (Happens only once a year.) This means you will need more sleep. Take naps. Respect your need for more rest. (It’s just what’s happening.) You will also have a stronger than usual focus on close friends, business partners and spouses. Because you will have more objectivity to see these relationships, you will have a better chance to grasp your role in the relationship, which means you can see how to improve how you relate to those who are closest to you. Major bonus! Normally, it’s tough to see ourselves objectively. (“I know what I’m doing – you, not so much.”)
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Count on being more productive in the next four weeks because you will really want to work. You will work hard and you will work smart. This is why you will try to be efficient and effective in everything you do. You will make lists and you will tackle them with determination. And you will be pleased with how much you get done! This same high standard will extend to your health, which is why you can expect to get on a health kick about eating better and getting more exercise. (“I’m almost perfect!”) Fortunately, relations with work colleagues are pleasant and mutually supportive. In fact, a work-related romance will begin for some of you.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Oh joy! Expect happiness and good times in the next four weeks because the Sun is travelling through your fifth house of play and amusement. This will give you a strong urge to get out and have a good time. Start to make plans for dinner, the theatre, movies, sports events and laughter with friends at Happy Hour. Expect more involvement with children as well. All your relationships will be more playful and lighthearted. Your energy level will be higher than usual. You will accomplish a lot with minimum difficulty. This is a great time to take a vacation and fun times. Romance will abound! Nevertheless, you will tackle home repairs and family discussions.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
This is the only time all year that the Sun is at the bottom of your chart for four weeks drawing your attention to home, family and domestic matters. You might be more involved than usual with a parent. You will give more focus to your home, where you live and to family relationships. Redecorating projects, as well as entertaining at home, will be rewarding. This makes sense because group discussions and conversations with others, as well as meeting new people and taking short trips will appeal to you. Start to make serious plans about how to improve your job or get a better job because this will happen this year. Count on it. Likewise, you can improve your health.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Fasten your seatbelt because the next four weeks are busy! You might take short trips. You might read, write and study more than usual. You will certainly be busy with errands, appointments and fun diversions. Ever the Truth Seeker, you might discuss profound topics with others or sign up for a course or learn a new language. (“Cenare?”) This will be a time for you because you will find your everyday surroundings more pleasant and agreeable. Not only will you enjoy the everyday beauty around you, you might also, at a deeper level, realize there is a considerable amount of love in your everyday world. It’s time to alphabetize your blessings.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Your focus on money, cash flow and earnings will be strong in the next four weeks. Keep your eyes open for financial opportunities because this is a favourable window for financial negotiations. Borrowing money will be easier. Admittedly, you will spend money on beautiful clothing, jewelry and art. (Keep your receipts.) (And the box.) Meanwhile, Mercury is in your sign, which means you will put a great deal of yourself into whatever you have to say, which is why you’ll be convincing and persuasive! Admittedly, your mind will be busy, jumping from topic to topic. Be aware of this. This is a good time to examine your relationship to the things that you own. Get rid of dead weight! Who needs it?
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
The Sun will be in your sign for the next four weeks. This is something that happens only once a year. The New Moon will also be in your sign on Saturday giving you a chance to take a realistic look in the mirror to see how you can improve the image you create on your world. Ideas? In fact, this is an excellent time for you to buy wardrobe goodies. Why not look your best? When you look good, it’s a gift to your friends. They are certainly more pleased to encounter you looking great instead of down at the heels. (Think about it.) This is a lovely window of time because with Venus in your sign, you find it easy to be charming and diplomatic with everyone. Kiss, kiss, hug, hug.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
At this time of year, your “personal year” is coming to an end but your new year will not begin until your birthday. That means that the next four weeks are like a time of limbo for you. You’re double parked. However, it’s the perfect time to think about defining personal goals for your coming year ahead. After all, goals keep you on track and make future decision-making easier. They also give you a sense of purpose. Write down a few things that you hope to achieve in the coming year ahead. One thing is certain, for the first time in 12 years lucky, moneybags Jupiter will be travelling through your House of Earnings this year. Oh yes – you will get richer! This is also a good time to tackle home repairs and renovations to pull your act together.
Weekly Horoscope Sunday, January 8 to Saturday, January 14, 2023
All Signs
This year Hanukkah took place from December 18 to 26. Yule culminated its celebration on December 21, on the Winter Solstice. Yesterday, January 7, was Christmas in Ukraine and for others who observe the orthodox calendar. On January 15, it will be World Religion Day. And for many of us, Christmas was celebrated on December 25th at home or in airports. But to my way of thinking, the Romans knew what most of us are facing this week; hence, their famous phrase: Veni vidi vacus. I came, I saw, I vacuumed.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
This is the perfect week to gear up and reach out to others and socialize! Make contact with people you have not seen or talked to for a while. In particular, you will enjoy interacting with creative, talented individuals. Furthermore, everyone will be glad to see you because with the Sun at the top of your chart, you look fabulous! Plus, lucky Jupiter is now in your sign, which also hypes you popularity and increases your good fortune! By Thursday, you’re raring to go. This is when Mars turns direct in your House of Schmooze. By the end of the week, you’re sailing on steroids!
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
This week, you are full of ways to explore opportunities in publishing, the media, medicine, the law and taking courses perhaps, or working in higher education. These are all things that will expand your horizons. However, what will most titillate you, will be an opportunity to travel! This is why many of you are travelling or making travel plans for the future. Meanwhile, relations with bosses, parents and VIPs are warm and mutually supportive. (A romance with a boss will flourish for some.) By Thursday, financial matters will get the green light, which means you will be excited about moneymaking ideas. You will also be spending fast and furious! Ka-ching!
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
This is a lovely and energetic week! Travel for pleasure will appeal. Some of you will strike up a romance with someone who is “different.” You look attractive to others, which is why you are starting to be more popular. This is also why some of you are increasing your involvement in clubs, groups and organizations. Sharpen your focus on shared property, inheritances, debt and taxes to clean up loose ends because you can do this with skill, planning and attention to detail. Meanwhile, Mars has been retrograde in your sign since late October, creating snafus and delays! This week on Thursday, Mars turns direct, which means from here on, you’ll be all systems go!
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
This week you will be friendly and sociable with everyone including members of the general public. In particular, you will have a stronger focus on partners and close friends. In fact, physical intimacy will be particularly affectionate and meaningful at this time because fair Venus is hyping your romantic desires. Your reputation will shine now and in the coming year, because Jupiter is at the top of your chart making you look successful to everyone. This week gifts, goodies and money from others might come your way. Meanwhile on Thursday, when Mars stops being retrograde, you will feel that “behind-the-scenes difficulties” are over. And the rain fell and the crops grew and there was peace in the land.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
This will be a productive week for you – no question. The timing is right. You’re ready to swing into action. For starters, relations with others, especially partners and close friends, are mutually supportive, friendly and agreeable. Meanwhile, the position of the Sun and Mercury in your chart will make you want to work efficiently and be as productive as possible. In fact, you will pay attention to detail and be willing to do routine work to get it out of the way. Meanwhile, on Thursday when Mars stations direct, you will find that interactions with groups and organizations, as well as contacts with friends will suddenly spring to life! People will contact you. You will contact them. Busy, busy. “Shops must be visited. Money must be spent.”
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
This is a glorious, lovely week for you! Grab every chance you can find to enjoy fun, social outings with others. A power breakfast? A long lunch? Fun with the gang at Happy Hour. Meet a friend for dinner? Grab a movie. See Avatar in 3-D (something I have yet to do). Enjoy sports events and playful activities with children. Of course, romance will flourish! Meanwhile, work colleagues will be supportive and friendly. You might see ways to boost your income through your work. On Thursday, Mars will start moving forward at the top of your chart, which will arouse your ambition as never before! Enjoy good times. Expect success.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
I’m sure you can resonate with the Roman phrase in All Signs above because this week, you want to pull your act together at home and where you live. This makes sense because more than any other sign, you are affected by your immediate environment. Lighting, smells, sounds, colours and the general ambience of the world around you will affect your mood. On Thursday, when Mars stations direct and starts to move forward, you will be keen to travel and explore opportunities in publishing, legal matters and medical issues. However, you will also feel ambitious and very hands-on about straightening up where you live and making everything look wonderful. Begin this new year in lovely surroundings. You deserve this!
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Your daily pace is accelerated now because you have a busier than usual schedule due to appointments, errands and short trips. Fortunately, it’s a “happy busy” time so you won’t mind hustling. This is an excellent time to study and learn something new. It’s also a great time to converse with siblings, relatives and neighbours. Meanwhile, you will enjoy redecorating your digs and making them look better because this will please you. Since this is a year when you will improve your health and improve your job, it’s important to make sure that your home base is covered and you don’t have to worry about that too much. Give yourself this luxury.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Your focus on money, earnings and cash flow continues. You have moneymaking ideas, which are worth your consideration. (You often like to dream up ideas about how to get rich quick.) In this vein of thinking, many of you will make money in the coming year related to the entertainment world, the hospitality industry, resorts, golf courses, and anything to do with sports. This also includes the education and involvement of children. This is because financial speculation looks good for you in 2023. This week, communications with others will be sweet and supportive. You’ll find that you have a greater appreciation of your daily surroundings. Certainly, from Thursday on, relations with partners and close friends will improve. Thank heavens!
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
This is a powerful week for you! For starters, the Sun and Mercury are in your sign, which attracts favourable situations to you as well as people. In turn, Mercury will promote your ability to reach out and connect with others. This is an excellent time for example to give a public talk or to teach. People want to hear you. Meanwhile, you can attract money to you at this time! This is also why you are spending money on beautiful things for yourself and loved ones. This is not surprising because this year, you will improve where you live by fixing up your current home or moving to someplace better. On Thursday, when Mars finally goes forward after being retrograde for the last few months – you will be keen to work and be as productive as possible!
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
This continues to be another week when you are happy to keep a low profile. With all the recent hoopla, you welcome a chance to catch up on things by working alone or working behind the scenes. In fact, you will make great strides doing any kind of research, or the study of the past, or the study of history. Despite your desire to be low-key, with Venus in your sign, you find it easy to schmooze with others now because you are so charming and diplomatic. Those of you who are involved in sports, the entertainment world, the hospitality industry and working or educating children will be happy to know that the delays you have suffered in the last few months are over as of Thursday. You can move forward now with confidence!
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
This is a popular time for you. In particular, you are enjoying the company of younger people and sharing ideas as well as goals for the future with others to get their feedback. This week is an excellent time to reach out and make contact with others. Make social plans. Make an effort to see others. Invite people home to your own digs because all these interactions with others will please you. On Thursday, when Mars finally moves forward after being retrograde since late October, you will feel a strong energy to revitalize your home and do whatever you can to fix repairs and make things better. This same positive energy will encourage you to interact in a positive way with family. Yay!
